the moment Facebook begun raking in billions from advertisers for targeted surveillance of their idiot, consumerist "product", we entered the Twilight Zone.
Or maybe that happened when corrupt politicians the world over saw what happened and said: "hey there, Zuck, nice biznis you came up with, too bad if we were to regulate it".
Whatever the precise moment we got trapped, we will not exit the Twilight Zone unless Meta goes bankrupt. It is so simple and stark.
